Produktinformationen zu „Beautiful Dreamers (ePub)“

Memory (Mem) is not like other girls: she is attuned to the voices of plants and animals, and is missing two fingers on her twisted left hand. The three of them knit their lives together and become a close, though unconventional, family.

While Mac's wealth, brains, and good humor have allowed him to carve out a niche in Belle Cote, his position as a gay man active in the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement exposes him to censure, harassment, and even brutality. When the unscrupulous and charismatic Tony Amato arrives in Belle Cote as Mac's guest, he sets in motion a series of events that will shatter familial bonds and forever change Mem's life. Now, an adult Mem recounts the story of the scars Tony left on her teenage years, confronting her own culpability in the disastrous events of that final summer.

For fans of Jill McCorkle and Silas House, Beautiful Dreamers is Gwin's finest work to date. Sweeping, dramatic, and vividly rendered, it is a novel of innocence and betrayal, love and intolerance, and the care and honesty we owe the families we choose.
